I've heard on-and-off that there are problems with the CF support on
the 8349 ITX, but I've never had the chance to investigate it.

Can you try using the latest BSP kernel and see if the problem is
present there?  Sometimes the BSP has a hacked-up kernel that
addresses hardware issues, but these patches aren't pushed upstream,
so the mainline kernel has problems.
